We can lose the regatta with very fair grace th'ia year. but we cannot, and mut not, lose the hotol, Tbi ia hotel year, and any year can be used for the festival of the "fMiiiig-harvest." o BRAVEST PEOPLE ON EARTH. When a man, or a woman, goe delib eati-ly after a divorce from husband or wife, eecures it, and then, a deliher ateiy, marnea some other man, or woman, we are willing to concede them a palm for pluck; but when a divorcee. man, or woman, reman ks his, or her. divorced colleague, then we hide the palms and begin to hand out the crowns. They arc the bravet people on earth in the mere matter of nerve. Who shall deny them the high-sign of human tern erityt There is a sublimity, a recklei audacity, a superb intrepidity, in such an act. that inspires the world with conscious awe o oooooooooooooooooo O EDITORAL SALAD. 0 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE CREFFIELD SWAY. CreffielJ dead seems to sway his de luded followers with a malignancy of force and purpose unknown during his earthly career. The cold, calculated, de liberate murder of George Mitchell on Thursday evening, by the sister for whose honor and salration he had al . , ready put his life and soul in jeopardy, was an emanation of the vile cult of which Creffield was the high priest, that should, at least, operate as a climax bo far as the law of the land is concerned. Every one connected with the nasty band of insane degenerates, as votary, or as neophyte, should be rounded up and placed within the walls of the handiest asylums. That they are radically in sane is the utter limit of kindly consid eration. The law has dallied with the monstrous thing too long, and should eiaeri itself before the nest, and inevit able, horror is developed. Such people as they are a constant menace to the peace and moral dignity of any com munity they shall infest; the people at large are devoutly anxious for their en tire and final submergence and will soon take a hand in the matter if something in the way of radical relief is not fur nished by the courts. Toleration ceases to be a virtue when murder, suicide, and illimitable licentiousness, are the main tenets and practices of any group of people, whether carried on under the guise of religion, or enacted in the hon ester course of undisguised human pas sion. Creffieldism must go! THE FIFTIETH JUDGE. Fhe French Court of Cassation, wite its forty-nine judges, has at last handed down a decree of complete acquittal in favor of Captain Dreyfus, the galfcfit French officer who has borne the stigma and sfcejess of a false charge of disloyalty for almost a score of years. The fiftieth judge, universal public opinion, accorded him immunity and innocence, years and years ago; but there is nothing loftier and sillier, on the ble?sed earth, than the French court of last rasort Therefore has he suffered intolfrable ignominy all this time; and now when the splendor of his manhood is breaking and he is entering the shadows, crushed and era bittered by the frightful injustices that have been heaped upon him, this trav esty of compensation i handed him in a blaze of artificial glory that decieves no one, much less the recepient. It is all one long, cruel farce, only the crimi nal phases of it have long since oblit erated the farcical element and the credit of Faance has been crucially im paired. He should signal his restora tion to the grades and honors of the army by slitting off his own epaullets, breaking his own sword, and casting the debris in the faces of his superior (sic) officers and incompetent judges. o THE NEW HOTEL. It may be that Astoria will be called upon to choose, next week, as between a Twelfth Annual Regatta, and a brand new and splendid botel. The cholse' should not be hard to make. The abso lute need of a fine hotel is so apparent. ' so insistent, and so logical, that but little time shoulfl be wasted in delibera tion. Give to the botel site, quickly,' and abundantly, and in the glow of a duty well and prompUy done, take up European and northern American emi gration is rather shy of California and our eastern gulf states because they are lary climates. With all its aversion to work, the human race wants the option of being able to grow. A country where in the growing and ripening season a man is forced to intermit his toil all through the middle of the day and where there is no long summer twilight to compensate for the noonday heat will never attract a large permanent immi gration. For the lary climates are the climates without a twilight; there is distinct relation between twilight hours and racial energy. New York Mail o Austria for weeks past has been de vastated by a fearful grasshopper pest After all the scientWs of the empire had exhausted their efforts to discover a means of staying the plague, a farm eis wife discovered that a solution of soft soap will stay the pests. Train loads of soft soap are being sent out by the government, and the dead insect are being piled in great heaps and burn ed with rejoicing. o An Omaha refrigerator manufacturer announces that he is about to put on the market a fireless stove. If he would stick to his own business and give us an iceless ice-bo not like the one that is ieeless because the ice is priceless and the dough-hag is doughless. but one that would freeze things without ice he would be doing us a much greater ser vice just now. o ror tne mm time Cleveland ice dealers have been indicted for alleged violations of the anti-trust law. Nothing came of the cases on the two former oc casions. If the Cuyahoga county grand jury would borrow some of the com modify to keep its indictments on. it would be saved considerable trouble when the fad comes again. ' o The mayor of New Richmond, Wis.,- it will be found on the new maps, has deeided that profanity is useless and sayi he is "going to do' his1 best fo stop it m his city". Wby not stop it wher ever he is? Better be an example than a warning. o 4 Iowa is destined to learn, if not al ready aware of the fact, that there is no euch thing as a free-trade Repub lican. Only 8a Yearg Old. "I am only 82 years old and don't ex pect even when I get to be real old to feel that way as long as I can gst Elec tric Bitters," says Mrs. E. H. Branson, of Dublin. Ga. Surely there's nothing else keeps the old as young and makes the weak as strong as this grand tonic medicine. Dyspepsia, torpid liver, in flammed kidneys or chronic constipation are unknown after taking Electric Bit ters a reasonable time. Guaranteed by Charles Rogers, druggist. Price 50 cents.

BEGINNING j MONDAY, PIANOtPRICES IN ASTORIA GO TO BEDROCK A Fine $40O Instrument for $218 Pay $6 a Month. You likely have read of Eilers mixup, with his landlord in Portland it all happened in ilay; the landlord and he couldn't come to term ou a renewal of lease, aud the big store on Wash ington street was given up. In giving up the premises it meant a big loss in retail trade, but it saved a wholo lot of money in rent. A retail merchant am go just so fur, but it is useless to pay a much rent for a place as the profits of the business amount to. So F.ilcrs Piano House closed their retail department in June, after a most phenominal clearing out sale. This sale was ad mitted by all piano manufacturers to have been the most wonder ful, piano selling event, ever known in the west, and whyf a mag nificent line of pianos was thrown on the market. Weber, Chick ering, Kimball. Pease, Haddorff, Story and Clark, Crown, Weser Bailey, and a dozen other well-known piunos, and at prices that made old-fashioned dealers in pianos tear their hair in despair. Just to verify this statement, we will quote two or three sale prices in Portland. A live-hundred-dollar piano went for 1395. A four-hundred-dollar piano for l78. A three hundred and twenty, five-dollar piano for ai8. And a hundred other such like cut in prices. Manufacturers are sending their stock right along, regardless of our inability to handle it at retail in Portland; they do this because we agreed to take a certain number of pianos every month. The question has been what shall we do with this stock, pending the opening of our new retail store, in Novemlr. We have decided to give our four branch stores Astoria, Walla Walla, Salem, and The Dalles the full benefit of this most un usual opportunity. Monday morning two cars direct from the east will be for warded to Astoria, and the people here will read about piano prices they never dreamed passible. Every piano will be plainly marked, and the price will be the same as a like piano sold for, in our big sale in Portland last month. If this, is not o, the piano is your for nothing. We can't let our stock pile up; the branch stores must handle the business until our Portland store is ready in November. Ten days is the time given to the work. Thirty odd pianos to select from. Easy time payments;' in fact, by giving references you can even have sixty days before making a flrst payment. A magnificent Kimball for $307.00; a $500.00 Crown for $465.00; the prettiest oak Weser you ever looked at for $338.00; a Bailey for $za6.oo, and plenty more such buys. We do not want to use extravagant language, but we do want to say as strongly as printer's ink will say it! Tha prices to this sale are cut to the quick, and you can save money by investi gating the correctness of this statement.
